Rich Man's Blues On this last song of the year I am way out of my comfort zone. BiaB Style = Rock Blues - Gritty Medium-Slow Tempo = 100 BPM I deleted the strings and guitar tracks Bass- Ample Sound - P-Bass Drums - Steven Slates - SSD 5 Piano - Arturia B3 - preset - Gimme Some Lovin' I am playing the lead and rhythm guitars and trying to sing. As always all comments are welcomed. Rich People Blues v- Rich people get the blues Rich people get the blues The big difference is They have more to lose v- His wife left him for the paper boy His wife left him for the paper boy The paper was on time But my wife was late o boy c- She got the house She got the car So he sits here in this bar Drinking shots in his beer Trying to drown his tears v- She got the dog she also got the cat She got the dog she also got the cat He was lucky to keep his cloths and his hat. v- She got a lawyer that knew his craft She got a lawyer that knew his craft She got the elevator He got the shaft c- She got the house She got the car So he sits here in this bar He is happy he's not gonna wine He just gave her half a piece sign v- Rich people get the blues Rich people get the blues
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Some clever lyrics that go well with the blues and great guitar work. Sounds like an amicable parting of ways "He just gave her half a piece sign"  The only improvement I can see is to brighten up your vocals; they sound a bit muffled; maybe some reverb? You should do more singing Mario, it sounds like you're having fun.

Love those lyrics! Your guitar is sizzling. You continue wow me with your instrumental talent. As BT said, the vocal is a little muffled but that is an easy fix. Good song!

Hi Mario,
Clever theme
I’m finding some of the lines may be short of a syllable or two (eg did you think of ‘rich people still get the blues’ / so he sits here in this (adjective) bar…). Sounds like you’re struggling to stretch the lines out in places.
Lawyer verse is terrific!
Vox are fine but just seem to lack a bit of conviction in places.
Gtr has a great tone and is remarkably well played throughout (we would expect nothing less Mario!) but I’m finding that some of those lead gtr lines seem a bit too much, particularly in lines 1 and 2 of the verses.
Finally, small point but the ending sounds a bit at odds with the blues genre.
Congratulations on putting this one together.

Well done Mario
Do you know the difference between Normal Barbie and Divorced Barbie?
Well, the divorced Barbie is sold with Ken's house and car.
Long live the Blues.

Mario.
Unless you get out of the comfort zone you haven't lived.
Some good lines here although the melody is a little generic. I suppose blues tunes can swing you that way.
You've had some good suggestions so, onward and upward.

You should do more singing Mario, it sounds like you're having fun. Thanx Steve for that suggestion. I'm not a singer, thus all of my instrumentals, but maybe next year I will try to sing more often. PS - I tried using pitch correction once and it told me to shut up!

Thanx so much for listening and commenting. I also liked that guitar part but don't ask me where it came from or to do it again.

Congratulations on putting this one together. Marc, thanx so much for all of these suggestion. I rarely sing thus my vocal control and vocal track mastering need a lot of help. I appreciate your comments.

Hi Mario
That sounds good
I think if you sang more often to your songs you could get even more out of them
The guitar fill ins and the Solo are excellent
Great work Mario
More of it
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Laurent Thanx for these very nice comments Laurent. I had a friend whom got divorced and said "Do you know why divorce cost so much? Because it is worth it!".

Andi ;-) Thanx Andi. My biggest obstacle, other than my voice, is the fact I have a terrible time with lyrics. I can do some comical songs but after moon, June, and spoon I am DOA when it comes to other genres.

Good to hear you wailing on the guitar.
I like the band though the kick drum seems a bit drum machine sounding.
Cheers

Always good to end on a Blue note. Mario. That ensure they'll be back for more, and we will. And a nod to the rich cats. The rest of us don't often think of them this way.
Outstanding lyrics, and a fun vocal to present them. Man, I love that line: "She got the elevator and he got the shaft." Good one, Mario. I'll be back for more next year.
